I believe that success with the TOEFL Reading first requires an understanding of how the test works.
So many students study for the TOEFL by doing practice test after practice test. However, many end up getting the same score or even see their score go down! This is a waste of time and money, not to mention how stressful it can be!
Instead, look at how each question works, what it's really asking for, and develop a strategy on how to get it right every time. Notice the incorrect answer choices and understand why they are wrong.
Understanding how each question works is EXACTLY what this course is about!
Throughout the course, we will use ONE easy reading so that you can focus on mastering the strategies to answer each question.
Then, you'll move on to higher-level TOEFL-level readings to apply the skills you've learned.
If you are looking for many full-length readings to practice without guidance or a plan, this is not the course for you.
If you are looking for a systematic, clear way to understand the inner workings of the TOEFL and build your test-taking skills so that you know how to approach the TOEFL on test day, then this is the course you've been waiting for.
